Nellcor Puritan Bennett Infrasonics Infant Star 950 / 500

The Nellcor Puritan Bennett Infrasonics Infant Star 950 and 500 are time cycled, pressure limited, continuous flow ventilators, offering adjustable background flow in the CPAP and IMV modes. Operation in the CPAP and IMV modes is identical in the Infant Start 950 and the Infant Star 500. The Infrasonics Infant Star 950 / 500 are designed to provide continuous ventilatory support for neonatal and pediatric patients less than 40 lbs (18 kg), with an adjustable flow rate range from 4 to 40 liters per minute (LPM), and background flow range from 2 to 30 LPM.

• Neonatal and pediatric patients.
• Unique blender calibrated from 21 to 100% to help reduce gas waste.
• RS-232 computer interface or monitor connection to collect ventilator information.
• Dual microprocessors to control ventilator operation and display information.
